Arizona Inn

Classic Tucson Charm with a Musical Twist

Modern luxury meets old-school elegance at the Arizona Inn, a historic hotel set on 14 beautifully landscaped acres right in downtown Tucson. With its pink adobe walls, shaded courtyards, and timeless Southwestern style, this iconic property feels like a serene desert retreat—yet it’s surprisingly close to Tucson’s top music venues, nightlife, and the University of Arizona.

Enjoy elegant rooms with free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and thoughtful touches like bathrobes and a mini fridge. Whether you're here for a weekend concert or a music-filled getaway, Arizona Inn offers a relaxing home base with just the right blend of culture and comfort.

Why Concert-goers love it

Located less than half a mile from the University of Arizona and a quick ride from downtown’s music scene, this hotel is ideal for catching a show without the hassle. Guests love the peaceful atmosphere that makes for the perfect post-concert wind-down. Late-night returns are easy thanks to free valet and self-parking, and the 12 p.m. check-out gives you time to sleep in after a late show.

While you won’t hear any noise from nearby venues, you’ll definitely appreciate being so close.
